  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My New Goal

We all have callings in our lives, things we are made to do. God leads us to the paths He meant for us to take. But the proper path isn't always right there in front of us; sometimes we have to look for it.

My callings are something I've been thinking about for a while. I believe that celibacy is one of my callings, but how I am meant to use that calling is something I have yet to discover. I know God will reveal it to me in due time. For a time, I was thinking that defending my beliefs could be something I'm called to do. However, I no longer think it is.

That's why I now have a new goal. I want to turn my focus back to something I enjoy - bringing joy, love, and kindness to others. Deep inside I have a desire to make people happy. If I make someone happy, I'm filled with joy myself, but if I think I've hurt someone, I feel horrible until things are better. I think this is one of my callings, and I want to do my best.

Why did I join CF? Well, in all honesty, I didn't join to debate or discuss theology. I joined to have fun, make friends, and talk to nice people, like I did on other websites before, but without the anti-Christianity talk and the promotion and support of sinful lifestyles. I wanted to be able to talk about Christianity along with the stuff I enjoyed.

So, thinking back to my original reason for joining, I'm going to throw away my debating and defensiveness and do what I was made to do. Please pray for me and my new goal, so I may have a gentle heart and an understanding mind. I'd be happy to pray for you and your goals.
